Hi Ted*,

First of all, I wish all the best to your Grandson and hopefully all this mystery sickness will be nothing more than a fading memory soon.

The shot is good, it's well composed I like it. The moment, the framing and the feeling of the picture is just excellent.

But the post process is just not good for me. I feel the picture way too oversaturated and you have a lot of 'HDR-Glow'. There are many HDR softwares around, which can create nice Tone Mapped pictures from Expo-Bracketed shots, but I haven't found any that would do the job properly. My method for HDR photos is a mix of using Photomatix / Lightroom / Photoshop and the workflow based on the workflow of Joel Grimes (who is famous for his HDR backgrounded portraits) with adding my own twists.

But if you would share the original brackets (or was it in-camera HDR?) I would love to give it a try to post-process it.

Cheers,
.t

*Ps.: After Room 404 in the movie, Four Rooms I don't dare to call anyone Theodore :)

To those interested, my Grandson is out of the hospital and doing well, however, it is still a mystery as to what is affecting him. I am still in Memphis, Diane
is planning on coming here tomorrow. Not sure when we will head back to
Arkansas. I decided to post one of my shots from the contest.
